Following an open raise to 1,600 by the cutoff, Egsy simply pushed all-in from the small blind. His opponent called after half a minute for around 34,000 with the A♦J♦ and was trailing the Q♦Q♥ of Egsy. Nothing changed on the 10♠7♥6♥3♣2♣ runout and the rich got richer.
Kanasuke called a squeeze to 12,000 and then check-called the J♣10♠3♦ flop for 11,000 to see the 9♠ on the turn. His opponent on the button wanted to move all-in out of turn already. Kanasuke then pushed all-in and his opponent went into the tank before folding.
In a battle of the blinds, HORIES called all-in after the 8♥3♥2♥10♦8♣ river and was shown 10♠9♥ by the small blind, which he had beat with the 8♦2♠ for eights full of deuces as a big blind special.

In the first update of player numbers for a while, the field was bumped to 395 entries of which only 279 contenders remain. "maanya" was responsible for the latest knockout when her 10♦10♠ prevailed in a preflop all-in versus an even shorter-stacked player with 3♦3♥.
The Q♣5♣4♠8♥5♠ board changed nothing and maanya raked in the pot to climb near the starting stack again.
Having just flipped out a shorter stack with A♥K♥ versus 2♦2♥, the table chip leader raised to 1,500 and sixsense three-bet to 6,000 to then call a four-bet to 12,000. On the A♠4♦4♥ flop, it checked to sixsense and he bet 6,000 to then do so again for 8,000 on the J♠ turn.
That led to the Q♥ on the river on which it checked to sixsense again, who bet 16,000. His opponent glanced at the stack and pushed all-in, sixsense called for 30,100 and doubled with A♥J♥ versus K♠K♥.
Four ways to the 10♥6♦5♣J♣ turn, Haruto bet 2,500 in the small blind and the big blind called. Koichi raised to 6,500 in the cutoff and Haruto was the only caller. On the A♦ river, Haruto check-called for 15,000 and flashed his J♥10♦ for two pair but was beaten by the 5♥5♠ of Koichi.
Right after the players come back from the break, two shorter stacks collide with pocket pairs. Yukimimi had the best of it with 9♦9♣ versus 7♣7♥ and despite almost all paint on the A♣Q♣8♠10♥K♠ board, nothing changed.
Level: 5
Blinds: 300/600
